Man of a Thousand Faces (1957) (original) (raw)
James Cagney plays Lon Chaney in this glossy Hollywood biography, a reverent, melodramatic tribute that focuses on his turbulent private life and rise from vaudeville clown to hard-working Hollywood extra to movie star. Cagney brings to the role passion and compassion that burn through the indifferent direction and show-biz clich�s to create a vivid, energetic portrait of the enigmatic cult star who rarely let audiences see his true face.
